An absolutely beautiful series of drawings by my friend @zedekyr.bsky.social of Chumley The Nice Truck Inspired by this story I wrote as a little writing exercise! If there's enough interest, i may share some of the others I wrote docs.google.com/document/d/1...

docs.google.com

Chumley

Chumley was an ordinary truck. 4 planked sides which sat upon 4 wheels edged by 4 buffers. If you saw him in a yard, your eyes would not likely pick him out from dozens of near identical other trucks....

🕰️ ON THIS DAY - 160 YEARS AGO On the 22nd April 1865 the North Wales Chronicle reported on the recent delivery of a new locomotive to the Talyllyn Railway, which was none other than No.1 'Talyllyn'. A special illustration has been prepared to mark this anniversary...

kids, this is called propaganda

Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now

A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now.

We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!

Welcome back!

Thanks for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump's efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.!

You can continue to create, share, and discover all the things you love on TikTok.

the worst thing is even the consultation puts the burden on creators, because all the questions are like 'given generative AI is obviously BRILLIANT and anyone who wouldn't want to let LLMs eat their copyrighted material HATES THEIR COUNTRY, do you think what we're suggesting is good?'

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it. The law only ever serves capital.

🚨 Statement from Trans Kids Deserve Better on their action - occupying Wes Streeting's constituency office - which ended this morning.

The occupation has now ended, but the space we created for grief and love brought light in this terrifying moment. We showed Streeting that we will not stop fighting despite the horrific treatment we receive from him and his government.

Wes Streeting refused to show his face at his offices this morning, and refused to face the community he is doing his best (and failing) to destroy. He saw us standing in community in our grief and he treated it as a threat, as the government and media continually do. Because in reality, we are so powerful together, and we will keep living and thriving and fighting out of love, and out of spite. And that makes them afraid.

Trans kids deserve healthcare, dignity, and to be treated like human beings. We will fight for that until we have the future we need, and deserve. Trans kids deserve better
